The 19-year-old has had several close encounters with terrorism. He was at the Boston Marathon, for instance, with his father — watching his mother run the race — during the 2013 bombing.

Wells was also in France — about two hours away — during the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris.

OK, it doesn’t sound like he was in much peril in France. That said, the odds of being present for or killed in a terrorist attack remain low, which makes Wells’ luck either phenomenally good or bad, depending on how you look at it.
